|
complex instruction set computing (CISC)
|
a processor architecture design in which large, complicated instructions are broken down into smaller tasks before the processor executes them
|
|
|
data line
|
an electrical line, or circuit, that carries data; specifically in RAM chips, a circuit that determines whether a bit represents a 0 or a 1
|
|
|
drain
|
the part of an electrical transistor where electrical current flows out of the transistor when it is closed
|
|
|
gate
|
a microcircuit design in which transistors are arranged so that the value of a bit of data can be changed
|
|
|
megahertz (MHz)
|
a measurement, in millions, of the number of times something oscillates or vibrates. processor speeds are normally measured in megahertz
|
|
|
reduced instruction set computing (RISC)
|
